Mastercard: We better not alienate our customers! Let’s cave to these religious lunatics from Australia.

Mastercard: Becomes hated by gamers all over the world.

Because they start it for cynical reasons instead of actually trying to give something good to the consumer, so it fails and they can’t understand why…

The whole crypto scene seems like a scheme at the moment… But then you see the bullshit visa / mastercard are pulling and you see the need for a digital currency.

Any corporation with near monopoly power will ALWAYS fuck up the consumer.

So if the problem is payment, what stops a company from selling “tokens” and those tokens can be redeemed for “anything”?

That way the visa / mastercard assholes can suck a cock, no?

You’re absolutely right. It’s also incredibly susceptible to snowballing. The early votes matter the most on who’s opinion wins out, and those are super easy to rig.

Yea that’s what pissed me off the top of most. Google / Apple fanbois gargeling corporate balls

The whole smart phone thing is such a lesson in letting go of the rope.

Once you let corporations get away with a little, they will eventually take everything.

Every time we lost a bit of control me and a few of enthusiasts were screaming, but the regular populace just shrugged…

Even on reddit you’d have to argue with idiots “oh just use Bluetooth headphones! Oh who needs sd cards, just use the cloud! Oh who needs rooting, it’s not needed”

I swear to god if Windows / OS were invented today 80 of people would just shrug as all control of their PC was taken away.

🤣 Funny people replying to you completely missing the point…

People, read again and turn on your brain.

Ugh… This shit again…

The fucking Bible is FULL OF FUCKING HATE. Hate for women, hate for blacks, hate for gays, hate for the “other”.

I’m really sick of people trotting out two lines from that book of fairytales and doing a pikachu face “how could people read this and be evil?!?”

Easily, because the Bible is filled with vile shit. Because it’s made up bullshit that let’s you argue every side of every point because it’s a amalgam of garbage written by idiots with the occasional line of wisdom sprinkled in.

This is actually in line with ai I’ve used… For some reason it just turns to shit after a while, I’m not sure why

The UK has been in lock step with the US in terms of moronic voters and stupid leaders.

The UK is in Europe, but it’s closer to the morons in Texas than Switzerland.

Your point is? They are both shit, agreed. The fact that we have asshole corps here, doesn’t mean we need more of them. We need to fight Walmart, not bring in the Walmart of cars.

You’re 100% right.

Linux Mint is not hard to learn at all, it’s almost identical to windows.

The problem is the random ass shit you have to debug that the average user will not do and conclude Linux sucks.

IE if you have an Nvidia card, which shit loads of people do, you will struggle with bullshit just having two monitors…

If you have Logitech devices, which shit load of people do, you won’t have drivers and you’ll have to fuck around dealing with shit.

In addition to other quirky shit that happens on Linux some not really Linux fault and some just is.

That said one of the good things about chat gtp / ai is that they are actually really helpful at debugging Linux.

So yea… Linux isn’t just plug and play, the way windows is. Windows steals your data and has shit loads of bloat but just like cellphones the average person doesn’t give a shit nor does he understand how / why windows is awful.

Ughhhhhhh

I don’t know… But some people take their shitty jobs way too seriously.

Honesty, if you are working for some mega Corp why are you bootlicking? They don’t give a shit about you.

I don’t understand some people… It’s like the dude working at Walmart running after shoplifters… Like dude… You’re risking your life for fucking Walmart…

Yea he is, but it’s probably the same telecom handout bullshit like the other program.

Trump is a piece of shit, but every program he cuts is not necessarily wrong. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Everyone tough until they get punched in the face!

Dems fightin words pal!

Just have superman round up every billionaire and political leader and drop them off on an deserted island, and the rest of us can start fixing our problems like adults.

Holy shit, I didn’t even know about that bullshit. Yea that definitely makes the list.
